Josh L
Josh has been tutoring my son for several weeks now. When asking my son what he thought of the sessions she shared that the lessons were varied and he makes it interesting and fun, ( My Son is in year 10 - age 14) We were looking for a tutor to help my son with his English as he had a difficult year last year with his teacher and it became a dread and a stress. Having Josh tutoring him has given him more confidence in the subject. He is keen to have the lesson and always comes down afterwards and shares something good about it. He seems to be progressing well at school and I know these sessions can only be helping with that.

Grace B
My daughter worked with Grace as she wanted to re-take her English Language GCSE to improve her grade. My daughter thought Grace was a fantastic teacher. After her first lesson she said she had learnt more in an hour with her than she had in her previous two years at school! She has a lovely friendly manner and put my daughter at ease straight away. She also puts a lot into the lessons through preparation, marking and generally guiding the learning where it's needed most. As an examiner herself she also has a clear understanding of what students need to work on to succeed. Couldn't recommend her highly enough and whether or not my daughter does improve her grade, I know that the lessons were worthwhile. Thank you Grace!

John M
John has been nothing short of a miracle worker with our Year 9 son. In a matter of a few lessons his confidence in English has really grown. He was previously really disengaged with English & it was a real effort to get him to spend any amount of time on it. Now with John’s encouragement, he actually shows me his English homework & wants to improve, work at it. Highly recommend

asked questions
See all FAQs
We're preparing for the Buckinghamshire 11+ for schools like Chesham Grammar. Can a tutor help?
Yes, absolutely. Many of our tutors have specific experience helping children prepare for the 11+ exam, including the verbal and non-verbal reasoning sections. You can read their profiles and message them before booking to find the perfect match for your child.
My child is worried about the verbal reasoning part of the 11+. Can we find a tutor who specialises in this?
Of course. You can use our search filters to find tutors who specialise in 11+ preparation and have experience with the verbal reasoning component. They can help your child build their vocabulary, comprehension, and problem-solving skills in a targeted way.
How do I choose the right English tutor for my child?
We make it easy to find the best fit. You can read detailed tutor profiles, watch introductory videos to get a feel for their personality, and read reviews from other parents. You can also message tutors for free to discuss your child's needs before you book a lesson.
What if my child doesn't click with their first tutor?
We know how important the right connection is. That's why we have our First Lesson Guarantee. If you don't get on with your tutor, email our support team at support@tutorful.co.uk and we will cover your first session with a new tutor.
How can I be sure the tutors are safe and qualified?
Your child's safety is our top priority. Every tutor is background-checked and we interview every applicant to ensure they have the right experience. We're very selective and only accept 1 in every 8 tutors who apply to our platform.
My child has lost their confidence in English. Can a tutor help with that?
Yes. One of the biggest benefits of one-to-one tutoring is seeing a child's confidence grow. Our tutors create a patient and encouraging environment where your child can learn at their own pace and feel safe to make mistakes, which is a huge part of learning.
How much do online English tutors cost?
Prices vary as tutors set their own hourly rates based on their experience. The price is clearly displayed on each tutor's profile, so you can find someone who fits your budget. There are no hidden fees or extra costs.

It's simple! All lessons take place in our purpose-built online classroom. It includes a video chat, an interactive whiteboard, and the ability to share documents. It has all the tools needed for your child to have an engaging and effective lesson from the comfort of your home.
How long are the lessons and how often should my child have them?
Lessons are typically one hour long. The frequency is completely up to you and depends on your child's goals. Many families start with one lesson a week, but you can discuss the best plan with your chosen tutor.
What happens in the first lesson?
The first lesson is a great chance for the tutor to get to know your child. They'll chat about what your child enjoys, what they find tricky in English, and what their goals are. It's a relaxed session designed to build a good relationship from the start.
Do you only offer academic subjects, or can my child learn other skills?
We offer a huge range of subjects beyond the core school curriculum. Whether your child wants to learn to play the guitar, get started with coding, or learn a new language, you can find an expert tutor to help them explore their interests.
How many other families use Tutorful?
